Giving Something Back

Non-Profit Groups – the backbone of charitable institutions

Volunteer work.jpgThe several charities around all rely on manpower in the form of volunteers may they be aimed at people or towards nature. The many charities survive because of people who are dedicated to provide the proper care and help to those who may need it wherever they may be. Volunteer nurses and doctors go to distant lands to help people such as those who are currently suffering in Darfur helping the sick and injured as they live day by day in uncertainty.

Donations flow to those who suffer in the far reaches of the earth, delivered by volunteers who choose to do a little for their fellow man such as pilots, military men and others who just want to help. Financing is not the only aspect one can help with in terms of wanting to help. Habitat for Humanity has projects that construct free housing for the homeless relying on volunteer masons, electricians and the regular Joe to do the building. Thousands of houses have been built by these volunteers some of whom come back, time after time for the unseen reward of gratitude one gets from those who benefit from their hard work.

The people who need help are endless in this world and at any one time, a person dies in misery, his life becoming worthless and insignificant just because they are nobody’s. That is what we aim to change, everybody is somebody and all should know that. The children of Africa who have survived drought and famine now face AIDS and a life without parents due to the disease. Much can be done if everybody pitches in including businesses for they are the main source of funding besides governments and donations. Helping all those who need it is the goal, volunteering is the soul.

The RSPCA Needs Volunteers in Peterborough

By

Just a couple of posts ago, when talking about how we can give to pet charities this upcoming holiday season, I mentioned the RSPCA, The Royal Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals .

The UK charity has been working tirelessly and passionately to promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals since 1824. It was the first society for the protection of animals in the world, spearheaded by MP Richard Martin, known as “Humanity Dick”. By 1840, the society’s work was held in such high regard that Queen Victoria gave permission to use the word “Royal” to its title.

Well, the RSPCA is now looking for volunteers who will be filling three key roles in the organization. The jobs will be for the Peterborough and District Branch.

The first position involves someone who will help with welfare assistance three times a week every afternoon. The role involves talking to the public, liaising with vets and doing basic administration work.

The second vacancy is for a rehoming co-ordinator for someone with 15 to 20 hours to spare each week.

The branch is also looking for someone to oversee the collection box operation.

Branch manager Diana Robinson said:

“Volunteers are vital to our success. However, we need to fill these positions as soon as possible.”

If you can help, call 01733 248116, or e-mail rspca. [email protected]
